As of 1 year ago our Insight IVM console is cloud/hosted. I’ve been unable to re-establish Microsoft DHCP Discovery connections since then because our DHCP servers are internal to Active Directory and therefore have no reason to be public-facing or to be NAT-ed Obviously there is also no means for authentication, etc.
If I am understanding R7 support - and I am not sure I am - they are suggesting that installing a scan engine on each of our DHCP servers will accomplish this. That makes no sense to me - and even if it works it seems a very heavy-handed approach.
Are there any Rapid7 customer/colleagues who have the same scenario and have DHCP discovery connections working? If so I’d love to know how you did it. I keep getting pointed back to a R7 KB that references Windows Server 2008 and 2012 and does not distinguish between on-prem vs. hosted IVM when creating DHCP discovery connections.
TIA.
